(Bridge):
Humba t'hip-t'hip
Humba yop-yop

Bethe memikare
Thugweya guzu eghe sansifo
T'-ngbi bete kafo noun'g bethore
T'himi biboh tika mitonameh

Hat'ho remo rewa
Tebakman mazou mi yeye namoh
T'uhruru makwiya huki daglo
T'hinan pan gwo eta bono miwo

Houngbati - owi
Haja'harak mikwadia

Oja nimadhi er-
Hamounou thi betoh
(repeat)
